Private Sector Collaboration Pathway (PSCP) Annual Program Statement (APS)
Pursuant to the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 as amended, the United States Government as represented by the U.S Agency for International Development (USAID), Bureau for Development, Democracy and Innovation, Private Sector Engagement Hub, invites concepts for the Private Sector Collaboration Pathway
(PSCP) Annual Program Statement (APS).
The PSCP APS provides a modernized process for USAID to provide funding in support of activities and collaborations co-created with the private sector.
While priority will be given to collaborations that are characterized by or somehow support the advancement of market-based approaches and enterprise-driven development, this PSCP APS can be used to consider, develop, and support any type of collaboration with the private sector that advances the broad objectives of USAID’s Private Sector Engagement Policy or otherwise enables the private sector to advance economic and social development in a manner deemed valuable by USAID Missions, Bureaus, and Independent Offices (M/B/IOs).
Consistent with USAID’s Private Sector Engagement Policy, the focus of this APS is proactive engagement of and collaboration with the private sector in the identification and definition of key business and development problems and opportunities; the development and co-creation of market-based and market-oriented approaches to solve those problems and seize those opportunities; and the facilitation and implementation of such approaches.
NOTE:
The PSCP APS is not a Request for Applications (RFA) or a Request for Proposals (RFP).
Instead, the PSCP APS requests concept submissions.
Based on those concept submissions, which must demonstrate extensive engagement of and co-creation with the private sector, USAID will determine whether to continue with the co-creation process set forth under this PSCP APS.
In addition, the PSCP APS is not supported by specific funds.
Any funding proposed under this APS would have to be requested from the specific USAID Mission, Bureau, or Independent Office with which the prospective partners seek to collaborate and to which the concept will be submitted.
USAID reserves the right to fund any or none of the concepts submitted under this APS.

Additional Information of Eligibility:
Statutory Eligibility Requirements, written into the DFC Act, are inherent in the DFC Program.
Read Table 1 of this RFA: Statutory Eligibility Requirements, which contains a summary of the Statutory Eligibility Requirements and the minimum documentation applicants must provide to meet the eligibility criteria.
The “Where to Document” section in the table shows applicants where to include the required information in their applications (e.g., as an attachment, in the Project Narrative, or in the Budget Narrative).
Failure to meet any single eligibility requirement will cause the application to be deemed ineligible, and the application will not move forward to peer review.
Should your application fail to meet the eligibility requirements, the person listed as the Business Official on the Application for Federal Assistance will receive a letter stating why the application was deemed ineligible to apply.
No additional information may be added to an application after it has been submitted.
Final authority lies with the DFC Administrator to determine the eligibility of an application.
All DFC applications will be jointly screened by ONDCP and SAMHSA to determine whether an applicant meets all the DFC Program statutory eligibility requirements identified in Table 1.
In addition, the non-profit status of the grantee/legal applicant (if applicable) will be verified along with its ability to fiscally manage federal funds.
Applications submitted by eligible coalitions that demonstrate they meet all requirements will then be scored through a peer review process according to the evaluation criteria described in the Application Review Information of this RFA.
Each year, DFC grantees must demonstrate compliance with all of the Statutory Eligibility Requirements to be considered for continued funding.
